Every beat of our heart generates electricity (this is why the machine used to monitor our heart is called an electrocardiogram). Whenever electricity is produced, it also creates a magnetic field. Just like with the radio-frequency waves produced by cell phones, these electromagnetic fields transmit encoded information, i.e. my text message shows up thousands of miles away, exactly as I sent. Magnetic fields are transmitters of information.​I’m sure you’ve had the experience of walking into a room and feeling like something was off, even though there weren’t any obvious signals for that. You felt it… then verified it after talking to the person. Conversely, there may be a person in your life that you just naturally gravitate towards, that has you feeling good simply be being in their presence.

We pick up on each other’s energies, known and unknown.

The heart produces the largest source of rhythmic electromagnetic energy in the body, creating a magnetic field that is measurable at least 3 feet away. The brain’s magnetic field, on the other hand, can only be measured 1 inch away. This isn’t to say that the brain is bad but instead to ask us to start thinking more about what’s in our heart. The heart’s magnetic field creates your personal field environment.

Emotions are the driver of our physiology. What we feel - coherence or incoherence - can be seen in the rhythmic patterns of the heart. As a matter of fact, scientists can determine a person’s emotional state with 75% accuracy by simply analyzing the heart’s rhythmic patterns. Way cool!!

So if, through the heart, our emotions create encoded patterns in our magnetic field, what might you be feeding your field environment? What impact do you want to have on the people and places around you? What energies are you producing underneath that smile that might be a bigger truth of your situation?

With mindfulness, you can become more aware and love yourself no matter what so tune in. Check your heart out. Listen deeply. And then make choices based on what’s best with lots of care and love. And keep asking yourself, “What am I feeding my field right now?”
